Submit your NSF BIO proposal by Sept. 28 to retain eligibility for coming year

Investigators who submit a proposal to SPA by Sept. 28, 2018, will be eligible to submit or re-submit another proposal to the same NSF BIO division before Oct. 1, 2019.

Many programs within the NSF BIO Directorate have moved to “no-deadline” submissions with limits on the number of proposals that you may submit each year.  The Core Programs of the BIO Directorate will accept proposals any time, but limit investigators to one submission as PI or Co-PI per fiscal year (Oct. 1- Sept. 30). Investigators who submit a proposal before Oct. 1 this year will be eligible to submit or re-submit another proposal to the same NSF BIO division (i.e., IOS, MCB, DBI, or DEB) before Oct. 1, 2019. Investigators who submit a proposal after October 1 may only be eligible to submit another proposal to the same division after Oct. 1, 2019. Oct. 1 falls on a Sunday, so proposals would have to be submitted by SPA by Friday, September 28 to retain eligibility to submit another proposal in the coming year. For more information, including programs that count and do not count toward the one-submission limit, and the submission limits for other NSF programs, check the Eligibility Information of the relevant NSF Program Solicitation.
